Project Statement
A place at the end of the world.
The village of Sfântu Gheorghe is located in the Danube Delta, right where the Black Sea meets the Danube. Situated where the map ends, it is a not an accessible place by car, it can be reached only by boat. The community has a long line of fishermen, a trait that is perpetuated for generations, being the main source of income for the most of its inhabitants, specialised in sturgeon fishing, a type of fish which can only be found in the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea. The Danube Delta has been listed on the UNESCO World Heritage in 1991, with several areas currently off-limits for the tourists. Nowadays, more than 50% of the biosphere reserve is intact, and the entire area is split into zones, to control the tourism, fishing and hunting.
